Institute PostDoc Fellowship Scheme @ IIT Madras

Institute Post Doctoral Fellowship at IIT Madras Scheme

It is proposed to offer a number of Institute PostDoctoral Fellowships (PDF) at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.(IIT Madras). It is a temporary research position which may be offered for those who seek to choose research as a profession. The research work during the postdoctoral period can be in areas that are of interest, both to the postdoctoral fellows and the Institute.(Institute henceforth refers to IIT Madras) The presence of the postdoctoral fellows at the Institute will further enhance the research culture and output of the Institute and help promote interdisciplinary research. It is a transition phase which can also help a fresh doctorate transform into an independent researcher before taking up a research career.

Eligibility Candidates with a Ph.D. Degree or who have submitted their theses for the Ph.D degree in appropriate disciplines and with consistently good academic record and research potential can apply for the PDF positions in any case within five years after completion of Ph.D.

A detailed research proposal has to be submitted along with the application.

At least two letters of recommendation/reference from peers regarding the research
capabilities and other attributes of the applicant must be submitted along with the application.

The candidates selected for the PDF will be pursuing independent research at the Institute. However, they will be attached to an appropriate Department depending on the postdoctoral research and will be associated with a faculty member of the department who will essentially perform the role of a collaborator.

Candidates who obtained their doctoral degree from IIT Madras can also apply for the PDF. However, it is desirable that such candidates if selected will be associated with a faculty member other than their Ph.D supervisor/s.

Age Limit The age limit for applicants for the PDFs will be maximum of 35 years (relaxable by 5 years for women and reserved category).

Duration: The duration of the fellowship will be initially for a period of 2 years, extendable for a further period of one more year based on the progress of the PostDoctoral fellow and the recommendation of the Department.

Fellowship Grant Fellowship Amount : Rs.30,000 35,000/p.m. Consolidated Accommodation : Suitable campus accommodation as per IIT norms if available may be provided.

Contingency Grant : A contingency grant of Rs.1,00,000/per annum will be provided to the postdoctoral fellow for research purposes.

Medical benefits / Insurance : On par with Ph.D. students

Permission for Conference : Either National or International Conference can be permitted provided funds available in the contingency grant of the concerned  doctoral fellow.

Responsibilities

Apart from the research pursued by the PostDoctoral Fellow , the services of the PostDoctoral Fellow will be utilized by the department upto 6 hours per week for academic assistance in the departmental work including teaching, handling of tutorials and laboratory work.

Leave The PostDoctoral Fellow will be eligible for leave with fellowship not exceeding 30 days in a year for each completed year of the fellowship. The leave can be availed on a prorate basis for the duration (on a 6 months’ basis) of the Fellowship completed.

Applications are received throughout the year. Invitation for interview will be sent by the respective departments if found suitable after scrutinizing the application.

University Utrecht Netherlands PhD Opening on BioMembranes

PhD researcher on modulation of host cell membrane dynamics by Salmonella typhimurium

Job description

Salmonella typhimurium is a bacterial pathogen that can proliferate within epithelial cells as well as in professional phagocytes. The bacterium uses two type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) to translocate effector proteins into host cells. Bacterial effector proteins are secreted into the host cell to enable the bacterium to survive and replicate inside vacuolar compartments termed Salmonella-containing vacuoles. Although it is known that Salmonella effectors interact with the host cell secretory pathway such as the Golgi appartus, the molecular mechanisms of these interactions are largely unknown.

The host cell secretory pathway is intimately connected with cellular lipid metabolism and several effectors that are secreted by Salmonella target the host cell lipid metabolism. Our laboratory specializes in cellular membrane dynamics and lipid biochemistry and aims to apply this knowledge to the characterization of the molecular protein and lipid based interactions of Salmonella secreted effector proteins with the secretory pathway. The research involves study of host cell membrane dynamics, protein-protein interactions and membrane lipid metabolism.

Techniques used: state of the art biochemical, molecular-biological, cell-biological and microbiological techniques including cell culture, immunoblotting, fluorescence microscopy, expression of cDNA, GST pulldown assays, yeast two-hybrid screening, lipid analysis using mass spectrometry.

Qualifications

We are looking for a committed, enthusiastic graduate (MSc) with a background in the field of biomolecular sciences. Experience in microbiology, cell biology and (lipid) biochemistry is an advantage. Relevant experience in (lipid) mass spectroscopy is an advantage.

Candidates from the EU and North America are eligble for this position.

Offer

We offer an experienced, collaborative and international group of colleagues and an excellent infrastructure that integrates molecular biology, biochemistry, life-cell imaging, and a state of the art lipidomics facility. We take part in the Institute of Biomembranes and are well embedded in the focus areas of our faculty and of the Utrecht University.

We will offer you a temporary full-time appointment of one year with the perspective of prolongation with another three years. The gross salary starts at € 2,042,- and increases to € 2,612,- gross per month in the fourth year of the appointment (salary scale P Collective Labour Agreement of the Dutch Universities).

Secondary benefits based on the Collective Labour Agreement of the Dutch Universities are excellent in general and include e.g a pension scheme, flexible employment conditions and salaries are supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and a year end bonus of 8,3% per year. Travel costs for international conferences and working meetings are also included.

About the organisation

This research position is part of the program Strategic Infection Biology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is an internationally leading institute in veterinary scientific education, research and associated patient care. It ranks number one in Europe and among the top five institutes of veterinary science world-wide and is accredited by the American Medical Veterinary Association and the Canadian Medical Veterinary Association.

Project Positions @ IIIT Hyderabad on Computational Core for Plant Metabolomics

IIIT Hyderabad

Computational Core for Plant Metabolomics

Positions are open... Apply

Introduction

The metabolome is the complete set of all small molecule (<1500 Da) metabolites found in a specific cell, organ or organism. Together with the genome, the transcriptome and the proteome, the metabolome is considered to be the fourth ‘omic’ building block of systems biology. Constituting the proverbial ‘last mile’ in the ‘genotype to phenotype’ paradigm, the metabolome encompasses perhaps the largest number of ‘clues’ for understanding the molecular basis of phenotypes. Due to its power to detect broad, including unknown, classes of compounds, metabolomics today is poised for the identification of metabolic network modules which are affected by developmental, genetic and environmental changes.

Objectives

This is the homepage of a project sanctioned through the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India, which has the following objectives:

Develop a metabolomic database using SQL and XML platforms for effective and efficient handling of the volume and complexity of metabolomic data.

Capture, secure, serve data and provide tools for analysis back to experimentalists.

Develop models of metabolite pathway networking and validate models against transcriptome / metabolome and proteome data obtained.

In concert with other experimental groups in the plant metabolomics network, develop software suitable for predicting networks of metabolite formation, analysis / storage and retrieval of metabolites.

Organization of Work Elements

The work will be carried out at two institutes: IIIT Hyderabad and JNU, New Delhi. The duration of the project is five years (September, 2011-2016).

Metabolomics database, metabolomic LIMS and data standards (IIIT-H)

Spectral analysis tools for metabolomics (JNU)

Bioinformatics, systems and metabolomic modeling (IIIT-H+JNU)
